Six Simple Steps to Mushroom Heaven

I adore mushrooms and wanted to create a salad where they were the star.  The dressing has a nice punch with a combo of citrus plus heat from the chili.  The parsley and tomatoes bring freshness along with a beautiful color.  Don’t forget cumin, one of my favorite spices which adds smokiness and a great depth of flavor.  Give this recipe a try next time you are serving mushrooms!
